Guest guest Posted April 21, 2002 Report Share Posted April 21, 2002 This verse is attributed to Srila Bilvamangala Thakura: ramo nama babhuva hum tad-abala siteti hum tam pitur vaca pancavati-vane viharatas tasyharad ravanah | nidrartham janaki-katham iti harer hum-karatah srnvatah saumitre kva dhanur dhanur dhanur iti vyagra girah pantu nah || [Mother Yasoda is telling Sri Krsna a story:] "There was once a king named Rama." "Mm-hm." "His wife was Sita." "Mm-hm." "As they went to the Pancavati forest by his father's order, Ravana kidnapped her." The story was intended to put Him to sleep, and Hari was responding, "Mm-hmm," as He listened. [but upon] hearing about Janaki, He [suddenly jumped up and] said--"Laksmana! My bow, my bow! Where's My bow!" May these agitated words protect us all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
